Elemental Ruminations: Alchemical Fire, Earth, Air, Water

Astrology and alchemy are cosmologies, and where astrology provides a heavenly view of the imaginal cosmos of the soul, alchemy presents us with a micro-cosmos. Like astrology, it connects us to the gods, only in a very earth focused, substantive way. As the art of elemental transformation, alchemy is rooted in the natural world.

Meditating on the elements as psychological qualities helps deepen our understanding of these symbols in our charts and lives.

This presentation with Safron Rossi draws on alchemical images and archetypal psychology to demonstrate how alchemical fire, earth, air, water form a micro-cosmology of the soul.

Her research areas are Greek mythology, archetypal psychology, and astrological symbolism and practice. She is passionate about writing and publishes articles in Jungian, Archetypal, and astrological journals and lectures across the US and internationally in Europe, Brazil and Australia.
